Omega 3’s: Concussions, Hormones, Skin, Nerves, Heart, Immunity & More…

Herbal Wisdom, , , , , , , , ,

I am currently teaching the Brilliant Body Course online.  Omega 3 was coming up in so many body systems: Circulatory, Nervous, Immune, Glandular/Endocrine, and Structural.

It reminded of the importance of Omega 3 and I thought it was time to add some additional notes about this critical supplement in which many people are deficient.

Omega 3 been part of our Daily Insurance program for decades, available as Super Trio. This convenient Pack consists of Super Omega 3, Super Vitamins and Minerals, and Super N-TOX ( a super Anti-oxidant), conveniently packaged as 60 packets with 1 of each. Great for busy people and those not following a specific natural health regime.

Omega 3 is  also part of the Basic 4 supplements for the Paw Paw Program for Cancer.

Then I saw this article on the importance of Omegas for  Concussions in the June issue of   The Herbal Collective. I have expanded upon this article and hope you will add this important reminder of care for head injuries to the long list of benefits of Omegas.

Who gets concussions?

Out of the 3 to 4.5 million concussions every year, nearly 2,000,000 are children
aged nineteen or younger who are treated in emergency rooms for sports and recreational-
related head trauma.
The list for sports-related brain trauma includes soccer, hockey, lacrosse, wrestling,
playgrounds, bicycles, baseball,football, skateboards, horse-back riding, and falls.

Symptoms of Concussion

According to CDC, the most common symptoms of concussion are headaches,
brain fog, fatigue, lack of energy, personality and mood changes, anxiety, irritability, and a type of vertigo called BPPV  ( Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo).
Sometimes symptoms may not be readily apparent for days or even a couple of weeks.

The Essential Fats Protocol:

How do omegas help treat brain injury? “The brain is made of fat and about 30
percent of that fat is what are called omega-3 fatty acids, (Super Omega 3)”, says Udo Erasmus, author of ” Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill”.

“We’ve learned if we saturate the brain with what it is made of, we can create the nutritional foundation making it possible for the brain to heal itself.”
Erasmus says most people do not get enough Omega 3 fatty acids which come from cold water fish like salmon,  nuts and seeds like flax and chia seeds and walnuts.

Following a concussion, Udo recommends 3 grams of a balanced omega 3-6-9 oil  (Super Oil) in the morning noon, and night which will supply 9 grams of combined bioactive essential fatty acids daily. This nutritional support should continue for at least a week, or until  symptoms abate, whichever is longer, at which time supplementation should continue at gradually reduced dosages.

In my experience, many people do get more Omega 6, and 9’s via their diet, so are more deficient in the Omega 3’s, so we often see the need for Super Omega 3, which is 1000 mg. from quality tested sources. It contains a balance of EPA and DHA.

Additional benefits of essential fatty acids as reported by CDC:

*Improve heart rate and rhythm
*Reduce triglycerides and high blood pressure
*Lessen the effects of chronic inflammation on the heart and blood vessels
*Reduce the risk of angina, heart attack, and stroke
* Provide the body with more energy, help stabilize the weight or aid in weight loss                * Enhance the immune system                                                                                                                             * Prevent and reduce inflammation                                                                                                                  * Provide more nourished and healthy skin.
* Omega 3 fatty acids are an integral part of cell membranes throughout the body (thus      required for healthy cellular regeneration)
* Provide a starting point for making hormones                                                                                       *Omegas have important benefits for the heart, brain and metabolism                                *Considered specific for nervous conditions such as MS, Parkinsons, Dementia, including Alzheimer’s.

Q&A – Scleroderma, Dermatomyositis

Fibromyalgia, Immune Tips, Questions and Answers, , , , , , , , ,

Question:

I have been recently diagnosed with scleroderma and dermatomyositis. I have been trying to control my symptoms with diet, but the Drs are now telling me that my heart is being damaged from the muscle disease and I have to start taking some extremely strong medication which has a side effect of causing cancer. I, of course, do not want to go that route so I am wondering if you have any suggestions that might help.
Thank you for your time. CJ

 

Answer:

Dear CJ,
Sorry to hear about your health challenges. What the docs have to offer is totally unacceptable – choose between heart damage or cancer? No thank you!

There ARE safer and better options. For something this complex, a free 10 minutes or quick email will not likely be of much benefit, but if you send your phone number, I will contact you to see what we can do.  After that it is $1 per  minute, minimum $25. We offer these reasonable fees, as we feel good health should be accessible to everyone.

I will also email you a questionnaire to complete before our 10 mins. and you can either email it back to me, or give me the totals when we speak.

Both of these conditions, in fact most dis-ease, including cancer,  involve inflammation and immunity. This is well explained in my book. It is packed with easy to understand life style suggestions including diet, food choices, pH, recipes, exercise, emotional health and stress, so this could be an invaluable aid to help you  “work with diet”. You can read about it and order on this Paw Paw Program page.

The one general suggestion I would make for inflammation and immunity that helps SO MANY conditions is Zambroza (Canada)and Thai Go (US). With 13 herbs blended for maximum effectiveness, many people get very quick results with many conditions including those you have, fibromyalgia, arthritis, MS and cancer. Please let me know if you would like to try two months of this, as I know you would feel the difference. We can discuss getting this for you at the best price once you email your phone number and we talk.

Political Scene

A shift in universal consciousness occurred in 2012 that woke many people up with a jolt. We became acutely aware of the difference between our conditioning and our true natures. We realize we don’t have to be afraid of each other and that, left to our own devices, Humans are wonderful love-seeking Beings. We are awake to the nature of our social and economic structures…….. and becoming more aware.

$9.84 trillion is in the hands of a mere 92,000 individuals. In other words, 0.001% of the population holds more than the Gross Domestic Product of every country except the EU and the US. The world’s richest people have taken advantage of cross-border tax laws in order to put away a shocking $20.31 trillion in offshore banks.

More people are realizing the inequities and making a change. The following is not easy reading, but for the open mind, it can help us be ready to reclaim our right to BE!

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis, , , , , , ,

Multiple Sclerosis

These are some very basic recommendations which have helped those with MS.

Super Oil – 3-4 per day. (90 per bottle)

Other healthy oils such as cold pressed olive oil, coconut oil on salads and veggies are good – at least 2 Tbs. /day.

RE-X is helpful for relaxing and nourishing for nerve support. 6/day (100 per bot)

Adrenal Support – 2 per day  (60 per bottle)- contains B complex, plus you need adrenal support for your thyroid and for the stress. Most with MS test better on this than Stress Formula.

Any heat conditions,  red face, burning parts of body, etc.  IF-C, the Chinese formula for clearing heat rising. 8 per day (100 per bottle)

With an NSP member number, you can access all the fact sheets on www.naturessunshine.ca to understand benefits. For the US, products are available at Nature’s Sunshine.com. Call our office for product equivalents. Anyone may use Account #309344 to request a discount direct account.

Other tips essential for your health:

  • ensure bowels are working  minimum one good movement per day, preferably 2-3 x/day
  • chiropractic or physiotherapy work can help make sure no nerve impingement is going on
  • massage, especially on spine to relax nerves – Helichrysum essential oil is very good for nerves; also  Lavender
  • drink lots of pure water for bowels, hydration and brain function
  • fill yourself with healing love and light every day – take time for yourself.

This quote from Louise Haye in her book, Heal Yourself, may be helpful:

MS may relate to: mental hardness, hard-heartedness, iron will, inflexibility, f ear

So check if anything at all is going on in any area of your life where this may be affecting you.An affirmation she gives is:

“By choosing loving, joyous thoughts, I create a loving, joyous world. I am safe and free.  “

Below are references copied from well -respected health texts;  according to which self care is not happening and this may need your attention.

Any comments in ( ) are mine, the others are direct quotes.

From Prescription for Nutritional Healing, p.246 – 247

“ MS is a progressive, degenerative disorder of the nervous system. Its symptoms include a staggering gait, blurred vision, dizziness, numbness, breathing difficulties, weakness, tremors, slurred speech, bladder and bowel problems, emotional problems and paralysis.

… the underlying cause is unknown, however, stress and malnutrition often proceed the onset of symptoms. As in so many degenerative disorders, a strong immune system is essential.

A well balanced diet is of great importance. All food eaten should be organically grown (no chemicals) including fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds (raw), and nuts, fertile eggs and cold-pressed oils. Plenty of raw sprouts.

Massage, exercise, especially swimming, and keeping mentally active are extremely valuable in bringing about remission of symptoms. Exercises that may increase body temperature can decrease the function of the nerves involved, and make symptoms worse. Exercises in cool water help by supporting the body’s weight.. Stretching exercises help to prevent muscle contractures.

The family (and Friends) of an MS sufferer must learn about the disease. Emotional support is essential. (But so is physically healthy support essential!)

Fibre is important for avoiding constipation. Periodically take warm, cleansing enemas with the juice of a fresh lemon.

Avoid extremely hot baths, showers, and overly warm surroundings, as these may trigger an attack.

Do not consume sugar, coffee, chocolate, salt, highly seasoned foods, processed, canned foods.” (These are all irritating to the nervous system and therefore increase stress; deplete vitamins, especially C and B complex, bind up minerals that could be used for healing.)

Short fasts are helpful. (This is also mentioned in the Breuss Cancer Cure).

From Nutritional Almanac, p. 273 – 275

The cause of the disease is still unknown, although it has been seen to follow malnutrition, emotional stress and infections. Helpful nutrients mentioned are lecithin, magnesium  (50 mg /day for spasms, bladder, weakness & twitching),  B6-50mg & other B Vits.( found in complex and Super Oil , Vitamins C, D, E, & Zinc. Nutrients and other natural ingredients have been found to slow or even prevent the advancement of MS.

A diet rich diet high in seed oils, fish, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, vitamin & mineral supplements and very limited in saturated fats, sugar, and processed and refined foods is beneficial.

High fiber diet is important for constipation, with adequate amounts of water and a diet high in unrefined roughage foods.

Increase in essential fatty acids..found in oils. These are important for the development and integrity of the brain and spinal cord.

“Avoid chocolate, spicy foods, coffee and salt. Alcohol and smoking should also be avoided. Alcohol interferes with unsaturated fatty acid conversion, destroys various B vitamins and worsens MS symptoms. (These are already nutitritional deficiencies which all MS people need to address.)

Smoking adversely affects a diet high in unsaturated fatty acids, lowers blood levels of Vitamin C, and temporarily worsens MS symptoms.(Smoking increases stress, not relieves it)

Both references list rest, avoiding fatigue, getting gentle exercise, such as SWIMMING.

A good reference for general suggestions…

that promote health for all people, including diet as suggested in Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally.

Sugar and cancer connection is well explained in this book. Eliminating sugar, in fact, is critical to optimum health and prevention of all chronic conditions, diseases and early detection! As well, extensive dietary recommendations are given to help people understand how to eat better. Some recipes are also included.

MS – possible misdiagnosis and Lyme?

Recently there has been considerable information about Lyme disease being misdiagnosed  as MS. A quick internet search seems to support this, so it may be wise to consider this. The challenge is, that in some parts of Canada, (BC for sure), the medical association is still not really recognizing the existence of Lyme, (unbelievable denial!) so definitive testing is usually done via the US.
